Our US Road-Trip came to a close on Jan 2-3, as we made our way to Los Angeles and stayed with Michael & Laura Blaich. We managed to get a ride from Santa Barbara with our friend Noah who was going through to San Diego ;-). Lance and Xavier decided they wanted to come along too and spend our last days together.
Mike and Laura really rolled out the red carpet Hollywood style for us all. They took us to every touristy site imaginable (in the short space of time we had), they fed us like we were royalty, we chilled out in their hot tub, and we soaked in their beautiful Californian sun. Still can't get over how it can be so warm there in their winter.
So - MASSIVE thanks to Mike and Laura for your hospitality. Can't wait to extend the same kindness when you come to New Zealand.
Our video closes out with us saying goodbye to Lance and Xavier at LAX, catching a bus back up to Santa Barbara then onto their respective destinations in Boston and Paris. Very sad saying goodbye and we miss you already.
This road-trip rocked. It was full of drama and awesome people along the way. We were spoiled rotten by our friends, the scenery, complete strangers, and Mr. Eisenhower's awesome interstate highway system. Oh...and I can't forget Tom Tom for telling us how to get where we needed to go. I love that GPS! Marriage saver!
We're going to add a few more bits and pieces to this blog.....Rarotonga was our next destination and that was way too beautiful to not include here. Also - I think a bit of New Zealand has to enter into the equation just so you can see what we have down here in the South Pacific for you to enjoy.
Thanks to everyone that hooked us up along the way - Morgan, Lindsay and family, Barry and Rachel, Nikkala and Mario, the people of Price (Christy, Joe, and the couple that pulled over and waited with our broken down car), the Gretchens, and the Blaich's. And thanks to those that met up with us along the way.
Enjoy the movie....see you in Rarotonga....
